So, is anyone, save for Gelgarin maybe, wanting a Russian win today or is the hipster-bait team getting the backing today?

My FF team needs points, so Belgium 
Cant stand Capello, so it's Belgium for me. This game has been more open than I expected

I have a Russian defender, so why the hell not?

I felt bad being quite happy that Vermaelen had to be subbed but it was only because I have Vertonghen in my team and he sure as shit can't be as awful as he was in the first game.

I have Sergey Ignashevich. He's got me 9 points in the game already.

In terms of the U.S., the easiest way to advance to the knockout stage is to beat Portugal.
I'm assuming the next easiest way is for U.S. to get a tie tonight, hope that Portugal beats Ghana, and not to get blown out against Germany.
Do you guys think that we can beat Portugal or settle for a tie if the situation arises?

I can see USA getting a point off Portugal tonight as long as they tighten up their defensive play. Ghana's comical inability to cross and/or effectively use the ball in the first game let USA off although they were fairly decent in defence.
Ronaldo is the key - if his knees can't hold up then Portugal will probably fold.
To be diplomatic, they have played both their games at the hottest time of day which would be an influence. Having said that, Ghana and Germany ran themselves into the ground in the second half yesterday despite playing in horrible sounding conditions.
I would guess that Chile or Costa Rica would have covered the most ground, possibly Brazil too as their games have involved a good mix of attacking (or rather, moving towards the final third) and defending.

It depends on which Portugal turn up & whether that lanky twat can be bothered. I think the USA will outwork Portugal.
2-0 to Algeria. Much the better team, Korea have been awful.

I think the US will be quite comfortable against Portugal, put someone on Ronaldo and he'll vanish - Messi is starting to turn the doubters about his big game credentials; Ronaldo? Not so much.

A 5-4, whoever won, would be lots of fun to see!

Ronaldo is such a petulant little shit.
